Voice of the Press Ginada, The Empire and The World at Large CANADA Editor Describes Horrors of â-  Motor Accident Kowspapors announced brli'tly that a motor car hu(i run Into a truck u«>ar Surnia and that sonio of iho occupants had been Injured.

Thoy were a fatlier, molhcr and young sou. AH three wer« badly hurt aiiJ are now i;i the hospital. The Stratford editor leelH that not enoutch U said ebout such accidents, and that it more vs'as said about thorn tliero would be loss reckk'ss driving on the public hiKhwuys. So ho proceeded to write an editor- ial, a column and a half long and a column and a half wide, on the ghastly details ol the affair â€" how it wa.s pitch dark on a stormy night wlien tho crash occurred; how the bleeding vic- tims were taken from the motor; how they were carried to a neighboring farm; how dlfllcuU It was to reach a doctor; how the Injured were finally carried to tho Wyoming ho.spltal, and how the farmer's wife fainted after they had been removed. The picture drawn by Mr. Kenned.' is a tragic ono. Ho speaks of gaping wounds and blood-soaked garments; of the moan- ing victims and of the pitifulne.'js of the whole scene. Ho tliinks that If the press would handle all motor. acci- dents In the same way drivers would realize what it means to be in such ac- cidents and that tliore would be an iu- (Iring at the moment in lioi>« of brlnc- liig down a moose.

Men Neglect Mouth Sanitation Resulting in Cancerous Growths Higher Percentage of Cancer In Men Smokers Than Wonrier. --Daily Clean.sing of Teeth and Mouth Imperative This is just as preventable a disease as cancer of the skin. The sore spot due to the irritation of a tooth or the white patch of leucoplukla, the result of tobacco In any form, Including sniifr, is always present for some time before cancer develops. All one has I to do when warned is. stop tobacco or snuff and go to the denti.st to have the teeth cleaned and smoothed, or the Irritating plate changed. As a mat- ter of fact a large nuniln-r of people know and practice this to-day. In the last live years we have had ample evi- dence of the protective value of such knowledge, 'fhe modern woman who uses tobacco, chiefly in the form of cigarettes, very rarely develops can- cer of the mouth, because this modern woman keeps her teeth clean, smooth and in good order, while the man, just as modern in other way^*, still neglects his teeth, and the Incidence of cancer "Cedar Jane," owned by Mr. Kennard of Newmarket, Eng., makes haste as she hurdles a high barrier bringing along a pheasant her master shot. .. of the mouth to-day is ve./ muct larger In men than In women. Women have demonstrated to met that it is possible to smoke -«4th ytttf little risk of suffering from cancer ol the mouth. When men learn thla they will protect themselves froa many other diseases that deoend upoc the neglect of the teeth. Few women to-day use snuff, and these are living In regions less accessible to messages of this kind through the public press. But I wi.sh to warn them that snufl used in tlie mouth as they use it is » very dangerous habit. When used I'u the nose it seems less dangerous. Men and women who use tobacco in moderation and know the added dan- ger of cancer if the teeth are ne,ilect- ed, may ultimately be protected from other threatening diseases which are caused by neglect of the teeth and neglect of daily cleaning of the mouth.

Imports Parasites To Destroy Corn Borer I.»ifayfctte, Iiid. â€" imported parasites are among the hopes of central states farmers for bringing the European corn borer under control, says G. A. Ficht, of the entomology department of the Purdue University agricultural experiment station. Already some of the Imported na- tural parasites of the borer are show- ing promise of establishing themsel- ves and becoming numerous enough in Indiana lo aid in borer control, he says. One of the chief reasons for the Commercial Intelligence Journal. Mr. destructiveness of th-e European bor er in this country, Ficht points out, is U. R. Stevens, Canadian Trade Com nii.sslouer at Cape Town, writes that, for several reasons, there is a brisk demand among South African im- por.ers and manufacturers' repre- sentatives for agencies for Canadian products. Importers and agents are interested therefore in receiving and examining Canadian trade papers and commercial periodicals. Unfor- the fact thai it has been introduced here without the haudiiap of its na- tive natural enemies which help keep it in check in Europe. The American parasites that at- tack borers closely related to the European borer have not yet shown I any appreciable tendency to transfer their activity to the visiting pest. innately, the majority of advertisers | g,, ^^^^ ^^^j^.^ p^.^sites are being im- â-  ~uch publications seldom publish | j^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^.^ ^^. j,^^ names of their overseas agent. • umted Stales Department of Agricul- ture. in the names of their overseas agent, nor do they state whether they wish !. to receive applications from would- be agents. As a result, the over- sea importer does not know wliethor or not the advertiser is represented in his territory, and agents do not ; know whther there are any pcssi- j billties of securing agencies. In | South Africa no reputable agent will apidy for an agency which is already placed, and rather than risk such offence, many agents will forgo ap- plication when in doubt as to the Police to Learn from Thrillers The steady dcvflopment of tlie de- j position ot any agency. The majority tective novel from a loosely written of advertisers in British and German and highly improbable, not to say im- possible, story to a close-knit, logically reasoned, and ingeniously built-up work of fiction has been one of the most interesting features in tho recent history of fiction.

Scientist Controls Mode Of Insect Reproduction Ann Arbor, Mich. â€" Professor A. Franklin Shull, University of Michi- gan zoologist who, several years ago, succeeded in controlling the wing growth of certain insects, now can control the way in which they bear their young. In experiments with aphids, known as plant lice or ant cows. Professor Shull pre-determined whether the aphids should be oviparous, that is. producing their young from eggs, or viviparous, producing their young alive. Either kind could be converted into the other by treating the par- ents with different conditions of light and temperature. He also pre-deter- mlnded whether they should be parthenogenetie, reproducing without from fertilized eggs. Whether you be a man or woman you will never do anything In this world without courage.

The aim of the Guild is to cultivate in the child an appreciation of beauty ; to encourage and develop the sc' • nique of the fingers; and lo give hio: a cottage craft which, though iatendej as a hobby could at any time be turo- ed to useful account.

A toy caravan was entirely furnish ed with woven articles made by six year-olds.

Still younger infants had busied themselves in making table mats anc dress ornaments, while two little girls of five and six joined forces in weav- ing a tea cozj. Some of the children, not content witli producing «oods. turned their hand to writing short essays on the history of weaving, references t.i weaving found in the Bible, stories and poetry relating to the weaving* craft, and songs of the ..-eaver. Collections of native and p.a.unt weaving were assembled from all parts of the world, and speciraons of work from Bosnia, Macedonia. India.
